Programs
Guided Hikes
Why hit the trails by yourself when you can learn something new with every step?
Topics include caves, wildflowers, trees and even basic foraging!
Even better — these hikes are just like nature intended: completely free!
Adult Programs
Ever wonder what the name of that plant is, how to gather food you find in the wild or why you should keep a nature journal?
Now you’ll know!
Our topics change with the seasons, so no two sessions are the same.
